If you have a patch prepared that applies against the head of the tree, and on top of that if it's build and runtime tested in production, that at least mean you've done everything that can be reasonably expected. Who knows, you may be in luck that someone who's interested might read hackers@ too. :) Yours, Daniel Ebdrup Jensen [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGTBAABCgB9FiEEDonNJPbg/JLIMoS6Ps5hSHzN87oFAl7Vd7BfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDBF ODlDRDI0RjZFMEZDOTJDODMyODRCQTNFQ0U2MTQ4N0NDREYzQkEACgkQPs5hSHzN 87qltAgAo2inpOy7g2lat0Mq5ZngXbllwas692HL49upgsOK56zFsqhaOnaKlWXn R84cxb+2IdfQ796rvj38fwOjsprcsfpwDxMxtbsqWnB9llXAJaHAITgDJrH0kEsH dyaCIjkidtFTM/If59+vkUfAn/4OwEcumE5Eov5ofTdD2WwHaj3C1yOxVxUn1YMX JIqVnVmhvDWc1eXwhmL6UIYhmFFG4lcUE7QYSnsv+7FFkXc+8H+TRO1rCohYsEcd Ff2RFlbchLVX1Cc0dch3zaWW4rGAkANrzkYraArUVxXmf+uXT3bYFyXdpZYkgyP7 bQ0ZozxNZTZTtw8z3F1WIuRJfz+8cg== =SwI9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
